Stayed at Pop this weekend in building 4, top floor. Loved it! Fit the pack n play between the fridge and dresser areas. Fit perfectly! My other son LOVED the murphy bed and enjoyed putting it back up every morning. Our room was clean when we got there and the reno looked great! Mattresses were comfortable. My parents were in a connecting room next to ours and loved it, too. Really my only issue with the room was they didn't tell us about skipping housekeeping when we got there (we got the text for check in but had to stop at the lobby because my parents forgot their magic bands, so they had a chance to tell us). Then we got back on our second day and housekeeping hadn't come yet (by 4/4:30pm). So I told them not to bother but asked at the lobby and they said you have to opt out on the first day so we missed our chance. I think he would have given us the gift card if we pressed, but it wasn't worth it to me. Then on day 3 when they did clean, I didn't think they did a very good job, especially with the bathroom.
It was our first time staying in Pop and we will definitely come back, though I could see staying at a moderate for better pools. I didn't love the Hippy Dippy pool. It was loud and crowded. I know there were other options but we didn't feel like walking to the other pools. I'm coming back alone with my kids in a few weeks and think I'll request an 80s room and try out that pool. My son loved the arcade. Breakfast early in the morning (7-7:30 ish) was VERY crowded. We didn't like the dinner options but the walk over to Art of Animation was easy and their cafeteria was nice. It was fun to explore over there.
Finally, the buses were a mixed bag. We came home after fireworks at Epcot on Day 1 and had to wait for a second bus because the first was packed. On day 2 we caught the bus to MK as it was leaving around 7:10-7:15 for 8am opening. IDK if that was the first bus or not. My parents took my son back to MK later in the day and the bus was departing when they saw it. My dad sprinted to catch it and everyone cheered when the driver let them on, lol. On Day 3 we went to AK and had to use Lyft because the buses weren't leaving until 7am for 8am EMH. We wanted to leave earlier to rope drop Pandora. Coming home from AK by bus around 3pm was pretty easy. We tried to go to Disney Springs around 5:30pm and the bus was another 20 mins so we used Lyft. We tried to use the bus coming home from MK late that day (like around 10:30pm) and the line was so long that we'd never make the bus, so we walked to the contemporary and used lyft. TBH we had to loop all the way back around the buses back to the main gate and then do the walk to the contemporary and then wait for a Lyft, so it might not have been faster all said and done. Finally on day 4 we wanted to rope drop Hollywood Studios and they said the first bus wouldn't come until 8 or 8:15 for 9am opening. So we took a lyft at 7:45. My parents came later and said at 8:30/845 the HS line was so long that they also took a Lyft. Coming home, however, from HS was very easy. Anyway, I'm sharing the info in case it's helpful. TLDR we had to use Lyft for a few of the early morning rope drops we did and when we were tired and didn't want to wait for a second bus to come. I wish the buses were a bit better but it was ok. OH also they were usually the furthest away at all the parks.
EDIT: oops I meant to post this in the main Pop thread,but oh well.
